Week 13 | Online advertising | part A

On Facebook, there is plenty of advertisements for things I enjoy and do on a daily basis. I don't know if I like the fact that Facebook information is out there that they can find out so much about what I look up and like. I know one thing is for sure all of my ads are about baseball, softball, cornhole, and trips to Georgia.  The call to action on the sports items is just images of the items that I like and they definitely do that.  Baseball and cornhole links are constantly taking me to pages about all the items I look up.

My attention is drawn to these things because I enjoy these things and do them on my own time.  It is not always business-related but it definitely is related to what I enjoy in life. Images that are used are effective because I am a visual person and people that are into images are also this way. The more effective the image the more people it draws into the business. 

Annoying ads are ones that keep popping up after I already have purchased something. Wish that the ads system once you purchase something doesn't keep coming up.  Most of the ads I click on take me to an original page or a page on the Facebook web page. It is very interesting how the web works and so many links can take you so many places.

Okay, the difference between social media advertisement and traditional advertisement is something I find very interesting. I may be an old soul still that picks up a newspaper and reads it because of the smell of it and the feel of a paper in my hand.  But the ads in newspapers are not boring they just don't have the ability to be flashy, eye-popping, moving images that newspaper ads do on media. The television can give you all that and it is traditional but it lacks one thing and that is the ability to be on every channel. See with the internet it pops up on so many pages and different feeds for people so much more often than the TV or newspaper.

Assignment 1 Why I Chose what I did

Let's discuss the reason I choose to use the wood them background first and foremost.  It was a simple decision for me to choose this over all the other different options.  I have a strong connection with wood since my early childhood till now.  I grew up watching and helping my father always doing something with wood, he gathered so much peace when he would be out in the shop working on anything with wood or building different things out of wood.  To this day, I remember one of the first things we made together and it was a desk for my room to put my computer on and play my games.   The desk was fitted and mounted into my room to perfection using one corner of my room along the wall to the door to my room.  We were in the room with the stud finder and we made sure we located every stud in the wall so we knew exactly where the weight-bearing support would be located.  the desk was just the perfect height for me to sit in my chair and reach every bit of the desk without barely havin

Week 12 | online marketing tools

Online tools useful for business, would be Facebook, Instagram, Google ads, yahoo business, and even youtube.  All of these things have different advantages for business but I really think that using each one of them to better a business is necessary.  I would use youtube videos of defensive drills, batting tips/tricks, and coaching tips. Youtube videos are everywhere, on each of the different social media pages there are links to youtube.  That is one advantage of youtube because they are on all kinds of social media and even just any website. I would also start a business blog for the farm and just on every other day, blogs can be so helpful for so many things.  Drills, exercises, and talks about baseball/softball, and hopefully that way I communicate what I need to get out to the youth of the world of baseball.   I also would use Facebook, every single day to help promote the business. Facebook I have found so many things on there that I have bought. I can only imagine how much busi
